Change, change,

The first part of this, the video, was irrelevant to me. Everyone holding up handwritten signs on notebook paper about their statistics of daily life, and internet use was sad. Being of another generation, it's hard to imagine how all this technology has improved the life of a student. There is too much emphasis on communication with friends, and searching the web for items of marginal interest and not enough on actual learning.
As far as the change in the money aspect of the music business, this does not concern me either, although I know it will impact my grandchildren's lives. They will never know "the way it used to be."
Change is good for the library systems. It's good to know that serious (even not-so- serious) students have so many more tools at their finger tips for learning, IF they will utilize them. To that end, library workers must avail themselves of the abilities to at least be familiar with these new technologies.

Open Source

If I were a younger person, or a university student, this would have been more interesting. I found parts of it informative, but for the most part, my attention kept waning. Most of these things are covered often through the media. I seldom watch them, because they ARE so often discussed. It was similar to exhibits at EPCOT. I did find the Library Spot, and Google Scholar of interest, as knowing about them, I could center in on things of interest to me.

Health, Wellness and Technology

Overall, the lesson reiterated much that is in the media today, concerning health, and the importance of weight control. It emphasized the importance of exercise in having a healthy life style.

Lesson 2, blogging

I am hoping to learn what this new technology is all about, and how it relates to my work and life.
